Commentary

Nous doutons que ce jeton soit frappé pour Rouen. Il aurait plutôt été frappé pour l'une des orangeries des châteaux royaux des environs de Paris. A Strasbourg, on l'attribuait à l'Orangerie de la Robertsau. D'autres auteurs l'attribuent au Parc de Sceaux. L'orange est appelée "Pomme d'or".
We doubt that this token was minted for Rouen. It would rather have been minted for one of the orangeries of the royal castles near Paris. In Strasbourg, it was attributed to the Robertsau Orangery. Other authors attribute it to the Parc de Sceaux. The orange is called the \\\"Golden Apple.\\\"
